20% or 30% nitro fuel for 8IGHT-T 2.0 RTR?

Hi all... I was told to break my engine in using 20% fuel which I am in the process of... but the local hobby store said it's fine to keep running on 20% now. In the back of my manual (8IGHT-T 2.0 RTR) the setup sheet says 30%. This car is tuned by Losi so should I go with what they say and move to 30%?

Either Nitro percentage will be fine in your rig. 30% will add a little bit of power...and you may or may not notice it too too much. Will you be racing it or bashing it? If racing, I would suggest 30%. Bashing.....either will work just fine.

Don't go to 30 till you're way past the break in. Going to a hotter fuel requires another mini break in plus a tuning adjustment. Unless you plan on competing, the 20% is just fine.

I break in my engines using the same fuel I plan to race with no ill effects at all ;-) 30% actually runs cooler than 20% in my experience.
